I need to make realistic fur any ideas? The grass tip will work but I'm looking for a little more realistice looking (I am making a mounted boar's head (gross I know) and I need to make the tufted fur. It's already sculpted and covered in brown/tan fondant. Now I need to finish it. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!

I saw this on a show, where they took melted chocolate (off the heat) and very slowly added water a little at a time while stirring. It got a kind of fluffy, grainy texture that sort of reminded me of coarse animal fur in a way. It also seemed to tuft well. You could also Not sure if it would work, but it is one idea.
I also think that tan buttercream or royal put on with an icing spatula roughly and swirled would give a good texture. You could then paint it with petal dust and/or or finely ground (in a food processer) brown sugar for color and texture accents. This cake is going to be wild looking! Be sure and post it.

I will definitely post it...as long as it doesn't turn out hideous!! Wish me luck, it's due at 5:30...Thanks so much for the suggestion!
